I'd please like to know what software (or see the list) is in that repository. I enabled it and of course let the system update the package list.. but I can't seem to find both Chrome nor Skype after it (using Ubuntu Software).

Any idea??? Shouldn't it be in a wiki or the official documentation? Thanks :)

    No Chrome & Skype are not there, Google & Microsoft don't allow it. Minor doco is available in certain places (eg. https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/addremove-sources.html) but you can always use a browser to just look, for example http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/a/ shows those starting with A (lists need maintenance, no-one has stepped up to do it as the work is at the whim of the partner companies) – guiverc May 21 '18 at 01:26

$ grep Package /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_bionic_partner_binary-amd64_Packages
Package: adobe-flashplugin
Package: adobe-flash-properties-gtk
Package: adobe-flash-properties-kde
Package: google-cloud-sdk

How to install Skype is mentioned in the official documentation. How to install Google Chrome is not, but OTOH it's not very hard to find out.

Not sure how up-to-date this is but you can use two commands:

$ wget --spider -r --no-parent http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/

Now you have a complete index (I hope) of all packages available on your drive. To check out what's available in the a category:

$ ls archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/a
acroread  adobe-flashplugin

The size of the list is nominal so you might want to keep it on your drive or delete it:

$ du -h -d1 archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/
32K     archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/g
12K     archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/e
